A system for adaptive in-drive updating, for a vehicle travelling on a route, includes a controller having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. The vehicle is carrying a load. The controller is adapted to obtain one or more dynamic parameters pertaining to the load. A plurality of adaptive predictors is selectively executable by the controller at a timepoint during the route at which a completed portion of the route has been traversed by the vehicle and a remaining portion remains untraversed. The plurality of adaptive predictors includes a speed predictor configured to generate a global speed profile. The plurality of adaptive predictors includes a driving consumption predictor is configured to predict a driving consumption profile for the remaining portion of the route based in part on the dynamic parameter, the route features, the global speed profile, and a past drive consumption.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the load is located on a body of the vehicle.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the load is being towed by the vehicle.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of adaptive predictors includes an auxiliary consumption predictor configured to predict an auxiliary consumption profile for the remaining portion of the route based in part on the route features and past auxiliary consumption from the completed portion, and wherein the speed predictor and the auxiliary consumption predictor are transferrable between respective vehicle models.
5. The system of claim 4, wherein the plurality of adaptive predictors includes an energy consumption predictor configured to predict an energy consumption profile for the remaining portion of the route based in part on a sum of the driving consumption profile and the auxiliary consumption profile.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the route features include altitude, changes in the altitude, temperature, traffic speed, speed limit and historical speed.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more dynamic parameters is a total mass of the vehicle with the load and/or a mass of the load.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more dynamic parameters includes at least one of a roll resistance, drag coefficient and tire pressure of the vehicle.
